If all you're following are big accounts that just landed there after fleeing Twitter, then yeah.

But if you've been around for the past year and a half you'd have seen a lot more engaging and interesting discussion than you've seen on twitter in years.

Time to readjust your feeds, follows, and HOW you engage politically on the service.
